Chapter 1: Where did it come from?

"Why did you choose this particular book? Didn't you find something else to do? Look at yourself now, is this what you wanted? Is this what you wanted? Is this what you wanted to become? Why did you read it? You can never answer that question.

-"Mommy, Mommy, wake up."

This is Alice, a boy who just turned eighteen, waking up his mother, Luanne. Alice was her only son, her other son died in a car accident a few years ago.

-"Hurry up, Alice, you're going to be late for school."

-"I'm almost done."

-"If you don't hurry, you won't be able to eat before you go."

-Okay, okay, okay. I'm done. I'm coming.

-"Oh, I just remembered, before I start eating, you still haven't answered my question."

-This is not a good time for this. -This is not a good time for this.

-You're always making excuses and dodging my questions. -You're always making excuses and dodging my answers. -No, I'm not.

-No, I don't. -I don't do that.

-"Yes, you do."

-"Well, I do, but... that's because I don't like to talk about it."

-"Okay, I don't want you to answer me anymore. I'll go now."

-"But you haven't eaten anything."

-"I'm not hungry. Bye."

The question that Luanne didn't want to answer was about her husband, he had never seen his father before and had never met him, and he was like everyone else who wanted to know his father, what he looked like, how he behaved,...But Luen always hesitates to answer him because she doesn't want to know about him, because he will be disappointed, his father was not what he imagined, he abandoned Luen when she was pregnant with him, he left her homeless, wandering alone in the darkness of the night, with no one to accompany her, and she lived the most difficult days of her life during that period.

While Alice was on his way to his study, he found a book lying on the ground, its cover almost obscured by dust, he picked it up gently for fear that it would be torn, and opened it to start reading the first page, and he came across the first phrase: "Why this book? Why exactly this book?" ...., after reading this title he felt curious to read it, he thought that this phrase is a way for the author to attract the attention of readers, he put the book in his bag and continued on his way.

After his return, he entered his room holding the book and turning its pages, an hour passed, two hours passed and he did not come out of his room, he just started to understand the subject of the book, he found that it includes a set of plans that have been and will be implemented by a large number of gangs, he found there what no one thinks, and each plan was attached to the date of its implementation, and he found that some of those dates have passed and a large number of them did not, he was surprised by that and thought it was pure fiction, but despite that he continued reading, Alice spent hours and hours reading the book and after several days he finished reading it.
